Three catastrophes foreseen by FEMA

According to this 12/1/01 article in the Houston Chronicle:
Federal Emergency Management Agency ranked the potential damage to New Orleans as among the three likeliest, most castastrophic disasters facing this country. The other two? A massive earthquake in San Francisco, and, almost prophetically, a terrorist attack on New York City.
Solution: cut FEMA's budget: FEMA obituary here.

Hat trick? Hope not. Hope SF has better foresight than NO.

Update: Steve Crandall says, "Nobody can say they didn't see it coming," and cites this 2001 Scientific American Article.
